Introduction

The artists as well as their artworks on our pages are presented for educational purposes, including teaching, scholarship and research.

The low resolution of the pictures used for demonstration, are thumbnail sized and entirely unsuitable for printed reproduction, and as such provide no competition for licensed, high resolution images of copyrighted character.

Some pictures in our presentations are modified to fit the presentation scheme. They do not maintain the aspect ratio of the original.

Public domain     

means that the image is so well known, that it is within the scope of most people's knowledge. For instance the image of Mona Lisa. It can be used without issue. The same applies to many other famous paintings.

If you want to use an image that is not in the public domain, you must identify the owner and secure rights to him.

Fair use     

The Fair Use Provision of the U.S. Copyright Act states, that the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or records for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship or research, is not an infringment of copyright.

In determinating whether the use made of a work in any particular case is fair use, the factors to be considered shall include the purpose and the character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature, or for nonprofit educational purposes.

Promoting art means normally to make photographs, copies, postage and packaging in sending out art submissions to companies, to place advertising and many other work. Contrary to traditional requirements the internet offers at low costs, the possibility to present your art anywhere to anyone in the world, at any time. To have gallery representations does not include full promotion services. Many contemporary artists represent themselves on their own homepage. Artists are not business managers. What they need is to attract more visitors to their pages, and a platform to present their works in competition.

 

 

Needs of Galleries

Art dealers needs to have an open eye on emerging artists as well as to their own competition. Selling art on the internet is still less important, compared to the traditional market. More important are the possibilities to establish new contacts. The world wide web matches buyers and sellers much faster than any other medium. The number of galleries with own sites is growing rapidly. The problem is, that their traffic is unsatisfactory. There is great demand for a platform where presentations can be viewed in context. It is not always an easy job for a gallery manager to make a good deal, even with a great artist name. Most important artworks have been sold on international auctions. The reason is the lack of communication between buyers and sellers and the absence of common strategies. Fine art auctions are still very attractive and the part of the online business is growing fast.

Prepare your audience

If you don't have a great audience, you won't get great results. Creating your own web site is just the first step. Now you need promoting and advertising. Use the qualities of the internet to further your career. Look for meeting places, bulletin boards, news groups, and online galleries. Meet people with common interests. Talk with them about the market, make friends and partners. Exchange links. Invite to visit your show. Send out emails. Assure that visitors can find you easily on the net. Adhere to search engines.
